The dean of Hebrew university doesn't hold "fringe" POVs. He irrefutably exposed academic fraud in the case of Masada. Wiki editors shouldn't cover this up.

He's a sociologist, and his POV on other disciplines (like archeology) is no more than that, a POV. ←Humus sapiens ^ну? 21:12, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have you read his book, do you know anything about his methods. As a sociologist he shows the pressure of society to make the myth of its own creation. Read the book and educate yourself before making these slanders ~~

I haven't read it, but I am considering it. The author is not a scholar specializing on the subject of archeology, and the book was not peer-reviewed by academics. Seeing that some use it to push extremist POV doesn't help. ←Humus sapiens ^ну? 09:36, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The book and his articles HAVE been peer-reviewed. You admit you haven't read it (but are considering it! think some more) but you've made sweeping and false statements about something you know nothing about. Why are you editing my learned comments about a book and a subject I know well, when you don't and answer my questions with "bloodsucking joos" as you wrote in the talk page of Masada? You are not a serious editor. Stop reverting until you've read the book and have an grounded opinion on it ~~

Do not present POV as facts. ←Humus sapiens ^ну? 19:55, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is about a book he wrote. You admit you've not read it. I have. What are you doing on this page as an editor? ~~

I included his POV as an alternative interpretation of history - per WP:NPOV, so I am not the problem here. The problem is your insistence to push that POV as a fact. ←Humus sapiens ^ну? 23:13, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is not POV. We are discussing his (not yours) book (that you've not read) and what his book (that you've not read) says. His book contains a review of hundreds of hours of transcripts from the evening meetings after each day's dig (if you read the book, you'd know this). In the book he highlights numerous instances where the team collectively invent meaning to evidence and attributing history to items with no rationale.

Whether you agree with the dean of hebrew univerisity on this matter (on which you have no standing) is a little immaterial. this is a biography of him and his work and these facts should stand. it is not POV that he precisely wrote about his in his seminal work on Masada. you are removing facts about his work because you don't like his findings.
